your defense mechanisms and allow those deeper desires to come through . When you meditate and thank the mind for its efforts , you may be surprised at what kinds of goals and wishes suddenly arise . When they do , act on them , and you ? ll strengthen your connection with your authentic self .
This is just the start to letting go of the mind ? s efforts to distract us from the authentic self and what would truly make us happy ; in future articles , I will offer additional techniques . Does this mean we have to delay our efforts to manifest until we have figured our who we really are ? Not at all . Instead , approach your efforts as an invitation to learn about your heart ? s desires , not as a test of your manifestation skills . Regard with healthy skepticism what your mind says you should manifest and treat your work with the Law of Attraction as a journey toward your true self . That journey might seem like a meandering path , not a direct route , to a final destination . When you manifest something that ends up not being deeply satisfying , acknowledge that you are still learning about who you really are and start again . As you learn to peel away the layers that mask your true self , you will start to manifest powerfully , in alignment with your authentic self . You will soon discover that discovering the truth about yourself is the most rewarding manifestation of all .
